I did it through certifications and a masters degree. Might have been overkill but set me up for success very well.

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included).

Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
